Complai Raises $1.4 Million

Complai today announced it has closed a $1.4 million in seed funding led by Moonshots Capital, with participation from the Capital Factory, an Austin-based accelerator and fund.

Complai was founded in 2016. Its employee-centric travel tool, Shep, allows users to book business travel on consumer sites while tracking their spending through a Chrome extension. After a search, the Shep extension outlines results that are compliant in green, helping travelers see which options are within specific travel policies on sites like Expedia, Airbnb, Orbitz, and Southwest. The extension then triggers a communication workflow, alerting managers to policy violations through email and Slack while allowing travelers to justify overspending. This eliminates uncertainty on both sides; travelers know instantly what is expected of them and allowed, and the finance team is no longer in the dark about how much is being spent.

According to the company, the financing will be used to bring the company’s flagship product to market, support customer acquisition, and expand the team and product. Shep is expected to launch in mid-2018.
